At times you’ll get the impression you’re in the heart of Italy – at others there’s no denying you’re in the Caribbean. Exclusively for adults, Ocean Point Resort & Spa is a kick-off-your-flip flops fusion of the idyllic Med and the exotic Tropics. From its gardens, where bougainvillea grows among palm trees, to its fabulous Sottovento Beach Club, where chefs will use fresh island produce as you dine just steps from the sea. This may be a far cry from home, with its huge beachfront pool and two seductively sandy coves, but the family owners have created a truly homely space, complete with a resident cat and dog, informal yet comfy guest rooms, and day trips for snorkelling and turtle spotting.

Poor expensive food.

The rooms are a bit tired but the location and beach are good. The food is very poor. You will soon have run out of choice and what you chose will not be very good.

Quaint quiet respite

We had a one week stay (breakfast included). The room was comfortable, clean and quaint with a nice patio by the pool. The shower was a drizzle and never got beyond lukewarm.

We had a one week stay (breakfast included). The room was comfortable, clean and quaint with a nice patio by the pool. The shower was a drizzle and never got beyond lukewarm. The onsite restaurant was great when we ate there daily for breakfast and three of the nights. We had a rental car and there were several good restaurants within 10 minute driving distance. The pool could’ve have used a heater, but with two beaches, the ocean was warm. Tuesday night live music was great! Tea and water refills in the lobby all day. The grounds are beautiful. The staff was nice. If you’re planning on doing a lot of things by English harbor/shirley heights - this is a haul and the Antigua roads are the worst I have ever seen. Plenty of space to lounge by the pool and beach

We are into the last couple of days of our regular winter visits to Ocean Point and as previously we have been delighted with our holiday. Location remains the biggest attraction, but this hotel is unbeatable for friendliness of staff - with no exceptions - and the dining experience is exceptional. The hotel is an older, traditional style building so rooms are not swish but they’re perfectly clean and most have views of the sea. For anyone, like us, who come on holiday for stunning sea location, total relaxation and restaurant style a-la-carte dining every night then you will be hard pressed to find a nicer place. Not looking forward to leaving all this behind to go home - but hey, we’ll be back soon!

We stopped here for 2 weeks in January 2025 and I have mixed feelings about the place.It has a great couple of beaches and plenty of space on the patios for sun worshipping.The staff are genuinely friendly and very helpful particularly the bar staff and the porters.The rooms however are very dated, the showers are unreliable and the towels are like very thin flannels.The restaurant I would say needs a big shake up.Instead of 1 waiter tending to 4-5 tables one table gets waited on by 4-5 waiters so sometimes total confusion reigns.The "all inclusive" menu consists of 14 dishes but the Statement menu consists of 29 dishes.The "all inclusive" menu is particularly bland after a couple of days but they do have specials every night so when we ordered a special at 19:30 we were informed the dish was no longer available,low and behold the dish reappeared a little while later.On one occasion we waited over 30 minutes to be served and after complaining we were given a voucher for 2 Lobster dishes which was fair really.Alltogether I would suggest the hotel is probably overpriced with some very good points and some points that really need addressing.

We stayed 3 night at Ocean Pt in Mid December and were very pleased. Nice, quaint, and quiet.... just what we were looking for. The room was very nice, with a beautiful large balcony overlooking the swimming pool. AC worked fine. Although there was a TV in the room, we could not find any broadcast channels. However you can easily log into your Netflix, or other accounts to watch TV. Check in was easy using an Ipad. Very interesting structure, an old sugar cane mill.
Beaches were small and very nice. TAKE WATER SHOES, although you can get by without them. The beach on the far side of the restaurant was nicer since it was better protected. Nice places swim, read, and relax. It was not very crowded when we stayed there. Water was a bit cloudy due to the wind. Not sure if snorkeling is any good.
Food was excellent. I had fresh fish all three nights. Breakfast and lunch were good too. We did not order any "Signature" meals. Dining staff was very good and attentive. Note there is only one bar and dining area.
You can book various tour through the lobby, but we did not. Not a lot to do after dinner except drink, sit outside, listen to the waves and watch the stars. We were extremely happy with our stay and would gladly return.
